Dude, if you had told me that one of your best stories would be told via the guise of a lady who only wanted babies, I’d have laughed. I love this one. Very humane, with a sensitive sense of character.
I love this story! I'd love to just open an egg and find a baby in it, instead of getting one the normal way. It does leave some unanswered questions though. Why did the spaceship people scatter those eggs around? Is it a sneaky plot to take over the world? The places you could go with this!
Brian -- I am not a subscriber but I steadily return to read your writing. I am getting ready to take a break from Substack and try to understand the new social media component Notes. I am very new to writing. What I don't wish to change in the Substack experience is the Reader-Writer discovery and delightful, amazing and creative stories like this. The "man upstairs" was a habit forming expression my Dad favored. You managed to bring it to life. Thanks for creating and sharing such a great story. FWIW I do not plan to share this comment on Notes. This was a GREAT STORY and it provided the transcendence of love. Bravo.
well-done. do you know about the service that lists. paying no fee magazines by each day of the moonth- Publishing and Other Insanities. Type it into google and then having finding places to send your story.

What a great story. My wife and I had a hard time adopting our daughter so this really related to me.
This is a beautiful story. So human, it's hardly fantasy.

Loved it Brian ! And what a small beautiful world. My daughter is adopted too so when they tried to take Sky away, I held my breath! ❤️
Great story! I like how you make sci-fi so relateable.
We can all live together in one big happy universe ✨️
Very Emotional, David. I cried and laughed and cried again. Excellent read.

What a quirky story. I don't know what but I loved this simple reveal - "the only difference between us being her light powder-blue skin"
I enjoyed this story. Compelling and emotional.
What a beautiful and touching story, Brian. Loved it from start to finish!
